Ingredients
- CREAM PUFFS:
- 1 cup water
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- FILLING & TOPPING:
- 1 8oz container of Cool whip
- 3 tbsp condensed milk
- 3 tbsp whipped cream cheese
- 14 oz Hershey's milk chocolate bars, melted
Instructions
- Melt butter and salt in water over medium-high heat. Add the flour and quickly whisk until a batter forms into a ball (1-2 min).
- Transfer dough into a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and beat 30 seconds. Then add 1 egg at a time. Beat dough for 2 minutes after the last egg is added (dough will be tacky.)
- Place dough into a piping bag with a round tip.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Holding the piping bag in a downward direction, squeeze batter out holding the bag in place and count to 5 seconds, slowly moving upwards. Use your finger to dis-attach the dough without stretching it out. Dough should look like large hershey kisses at this point (1.25" wide.)Dip your fingers into water and smooth out the pointy tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR, this may cause your puffs to deflate.
- FOR FILLING: Beat cream cheese until smooth then add cool whip and condensed milk.
- TO ASSEMBLE PUFFS: Stuff each puff with the cool whip frosting, inserting a narrow tip on the side of each puff.
- Then dip the tops into the melted chocolate and place onto a tray. Keep Refrigerated. Serve cold.
Notes
Tip: dap the four corners of the baking sheet with some of the batter before applying the parchment paper, this helps the paper not slide when piping out.
